Pet care experience

City-sleeping and trail-hiking!

Hey there! There's no need to feel guilty when you have to leave your pup with me; I'll make sure they feel like *they* are the ones on vacation! I am the proud mum a 13 year old lovable mutt who is active despite 2 knee surgeries from when he was 5 years old. When playing tug-of-war or fetch in my large fenced backyard doesn't suffice (and it never does), we'll hop in the car, stop for a coffee & treat, and go to Sheepfold's off leash dog park to mingle with more pups and walk the trails for hours or go to Nahant dog beach. Yes, even in the winter, but not so much when it rains! When not in playing mode, our dogs can rest and nap on my couch, my bed, or the two doggy beds/blankets available. Crate-less, unless you provide your own. I do not discriminate between breeds, however I do discriminate between sizes. The bigger the better! Kidding - Love 'em all. Bandit's also known to share a couple of his Polkadog treats as well. As for drop-in visits & walking - reach out and I’ll see if I can make it work on my schedule. I’m with the pups pretty much 24/7 around the house or going on activities. Typically I'm out on hikes in the Fells or walks on the beach with the dogs M-F 11AM-1PM or around 6-7PM. Love, Sofia & Bandit

Sofia was amazing, thoughtful and so kind with our dog, Devin and we would highly recommend her. She was very responsive and we loved the photos and videos we got daily from her. Devin seemed to really enjoy hanging out with her and other dogs she was looking after during the holiday break. We would be rebooking with her for our future needs. Thank you for everything!

Sofia is so great! You can tell she loves dogs and take very good care of your little one. I've been using rover for a decade but she is truly one of the best!

Peppercorn loved staying with Sofia. Sofia is thoughtful and has great dog intuition. Sofia has a number of very friendly and playful dogs in her care. Also a nice yard area for play. Would highly recommend!

Sofia took great care of our 9mo old pup Marcy! Marcy clearly loved playing in the big back yard and came home exhausted and happy! Sofia was communicative and sent the lots of cute pictures! Marcy will definitely be back!

Schedule

I've been a full-time dog walker since 2017, but the pandemic through things out of wack and I gained a couple of more passion projects to work on - all mostly working from home. So your pet will be with me and my boy Bandit pretty much 24/7!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large backyard, fully fenced in, and with mounds of grassy dirt ready to be dug up. My apartment is a care-free environment and all pups are allowed to get up on the couch or lay wherever they want. When I'm home, the dogs can ask to go out to pee and play whenever they want. There are no rules here, I welcome ruffians with emphasis on the ruff.

I would like to know everything and anything! Do they need little activity/exercise? Do they want to be pet and pampered all day? How well do they do off-leash? How do they like to play? Favorite game? Are there certain behaviors you would like me to reinforce? Others to correct?
